If you used ext2/ext3 with mke2fs, the default is 5% reserved. If you |
| 7 |
put the whole disk in one partition, than that works out to be just |
| 8 |
about 50G. I don't know what you use the disk for, but it seems a bit |
| 9 |
silly to have a 1TB disk in just 1 partition for the entire system and |
| 10 |
waste 50G this way. Even just splitting the root and home partitions |
| 11 |
would be nice. I mean, all system files, the portage tree, and the |
| 12 |
distfiles should fit into 50G with no problem, having a 50G reserved |
| 13 |
space really is silly. |
| 14 |
|

Furthermore, if this disk is NOT a system disk, but just one for |
| 16 |
data... then I ask, what's the point of leaving reserve space for |
| 17 |
root? |
